Pandad.
I did post a 'Thank You' for your time and trouble taken in assisting me but I have obviously posted it in the wrong place.
My doctor keeps telling me that doing such things (and other sundry illnesses) are caused by "too many birthdays".

Cheers.

Beware this pitfall! The census only records relationship to the head of household, not between individuals.

I do agree with you Mary but I only recorded what was indexed as extracted below. I would love to see what the actual census return records as it may through some light on the subject and I think it is worthy of further investigation as you suggest via birth record.

Extract from 1871 index for Robert Duncan.
Age:10
Estimated Birth Year:abt 1861
Relationship:Grandson
Mother's Name:Marion
Gender: Male
Where born:St Ninians, Stirlingshire

What is the possibility that Catherine aged 3 in the 1841 and Christian aged 13 in the 1851 are the same person? My reasoning is the age increases by 10 years, Christian is not recorded in 1841 and Catherine is not recorded in 1851. I think a look at the OPR for birth/baptism maybe worth while to confirm my assumption. It could also confirm the birth year of Marion who in 1841 is 14 (b.1827) and in 1871 is 40 (b.1831).

Possibility? Reverted to her old profession of Dairymaid with her previous employer?

A very good possibility - Index info only.

Year: 1891 Parish: Kincardine; ED: 1; Page: 3; Line: 24 Address: Robertson's Lane

Daniel Ferguson/Head/62(1829)/Farmer/Kincardine, Perthshire
Margaret Ferguson/Wife/61(1830)/Farmer's Wife/Kincardine, Perthshire
Marion Ferguson/Sister/64(1827)/Dairymaid/Kincardine, Perthshire
Peter Ferguson/Nephew/16(1875)/Ploughman/Kincardine, Perthshire
Margaret Somerville/Servant/15(1876)

The age of Daniel matches with previous data along with sister Marion, who has her correct age.

Is Peter the Nephew, born 1875, the son of Peter Ferguson and Jessie Jamieson, who married in 1873, and were mentioned previously?

Nephew Peter recorded in 1881 and 1891 living with Daniel & Margaret. Did something happen to his parents?

[Fergie]

I think the nephew Peter might be the son of Peter Ferguson and Jessie Jamieson. There were two Peters born about the same time. One in Kincardine and the other in Kilmadock.

Cheers.

Astoria.
If you wish, I could send a copy as a word document that you could modify it to suit yourself.

Fergie - this is over a decade old, but I'm descended from Carville from Kincade.

I have a Jane Young (nee Carville) and Peter Carville (her brother) in New Zealand. She was widowed and emigrated in 1896 (I assume that he was on the same boat, but haven't checked)
